Comparison between the cut R-Rated Version and the uncut NC-17 Version (both contained on the US DVD)

David Cronenbergs "Crash" has only been released in a heavily cut R-Rated Version in the American cinemas. The US DVD from New Line contains both versions (R-Rated & NC-17). Interesting is that the R-Rated on the DVD seems somewhat less cut than the Theatrical Version. This is assumed by an IMDB posting in which a longer scene is described that is allegedly missing in the Theatrical Version, but is contained on the DVD.
